NJ officials lay out economic vision

TRENTON (AP) — New Jersey’s state treasurer, its state economist and its Superstorm Sandy recovery guru are set to give their views on how the state’s economy can be improved during Gov. Chris Christie’s second term.

The officials, along with some private economists, are scheduled to speak Wednesday at a forum on the state’s economy.

It’s the third annual forum organized by the state Treasury Department.

New Jersey has been adding jobs during Christie’s time in office, but some experts say growth remains relatively slow.
